Signal Cloud Backup

Signal adds secure cloud backups to save and restore chats

Signal has introduced a new opt-in feature that helps users create end-to-end encrypted backups of their chats, allowing them to restore messages even if their phones are damaged or lost.

I have been a Signal user and supporter for years now, but restoring it to a new iPhone has always been a pain. I hope that this new cloud backup makes it easier while keeping it secure. However, the most important thing here is that you can’t restore your Signal data if your phone is damaged or lost. This hopes to midigate that.
